The Young and the Witless IV

Fresh from sucessful seasons of Micetro Improv, Gods& Heroes, and Improv Divas, WIT, purveyors of fine improvised comedy since 2004, is proud to offer up another compelling, must see season of spontaneous scandal and improvised intrigue.

Young and Witless IV

Lust.

Betrayal.

Family.

On Wednesday June 2, 2010 at 8pm we introduce you to NZ's #2 leading retail family,
"The Wakefields".

A trusted iconic NZ brand thats been around since before your nana.  Lighting the way home for countless kiwis, Wakefield's department store may have a place in your heart, but at the heart of this family, trouble is brewing.

With our fourth season The Young & The Witless founder Derek Flores wants to explore "...the complex roots of family and the inherant comedy that lies within the lies."  Each and every week for 3 months a new episode of the unraveling comedy of the Wakefields is spontaneously created by a "...formidable and funny" (theatreview) cast of improvisers.  "With characters you are bound to hate one minute and love the next," says Flores, "this season is the one you wont want to miss."

The drama is set to unfold Wednesday June 2.
8pm
at The Fringe Bar.
$10 tickets at the door.
